Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect upon the character and appearance of the area
- The likely effect upon nature conservation interests, including whether the proposal should provide biodiversity net gain
What decided it
The landscape and visual harm to character and appearance caused by the proposed increase in density and reduction in open space within the holiday park, which would erode the valued tranquil and secluded character of the area, outweighed the modest economic and biodiversity benefits for all units except plot 45, which caused no such harm and was easily severable.
